@opendoor-comics.com's latest. I've had virtually no exposure to Marvel's Sersi, but I can commiserate on the mishandling of the archetype. My jaded view is that the masses can't handle the nuance, so the result is marred by editorial mandate.

Decided to do some inking practice - I have a lot of weaknesses as an artist, but inking is one of the biggest - using this Alan Davis sketch of the Teen Titans.

I love Grell's art. This article led me down a rabbit hole where I tried to identify the art from a favorite T-Shirt I owned in the early 90's. I was convinced it was Mike Grell's Warlord, but it was a little...off.

You can't tell me that in that panel with Scott, Oberon, and Barda, that Barda isn't sneaking a surreptitious peek at her future husband's backside. I mean, no doubt Scott keeps things tight, who can blame her?

Let's see if I can trace this line, DC publishes the Crime Syndicate fighting the JL ('64,) inspires WB JL storyline "A Better World" ('03,) inspires WBI game "Injustice" ('13,) inspires the DC K.O. event? So cyclical!

Anyone have a line to Brendon Small on here? (I'm looking your way, @amerrill2.bsky.social.)

This would be the most epic Dethklok cover if there ever was one. Check out those lyrics! So brutal.

Whenever I read the word, "vicious," I like to mentally replace it with, "viscous." It's never not funny to me.
